SETH GREEN'S CALAMITY.

His Rescue of an 18-year-old Maiden.
An Interesting Incident.
Said Seth Green, the fish culturist ~ was
trout fishing on Pine creek, Pennsylvania be-
low Smiths dam. The creek below tho liam
was about five rods across, and the bottom
covered with hard heads from the size OF u
goose egg to a barrel. The water was three
feet deep, and whirled AZ ound like the whirl-
pool of Niagara. There was no escape there
for anybody il lie was unlucky enough TO get
in, unless he was very expert swimmer.
There were sawholscs placed across tho creek
and planks fastened to them for a foot bridge.
l had II twelve pound basket nearly filled
when saw nn lS-year-old girl come on the
bridge. When she got IL Inc stepped on one
of the sawhorses to let her pass.
u watched her as she continued, and don't
think she had got more than thirty feet from
me before noticed That her head began to
swim. She gave one Of those peculiar screams
such as are natural to all girls when in dan
ger, tottered for al instant and foil head fore
most down the stream, and being buoyed up
somewhat by her clothing the swift current
carried her rapidly along toward the deep
hole. To drop my rod and jump into the
water was but tho work Of a second, and
made my way over the hard heads in three
feet Of water us fast as could. went down
twice, but kept going and overlook her about
fifty or sixty feet from where she went in,
and then began the struggle. l grabbed her
and turned her around, and the first thing she
did was to clutch me with one hand and push
her clothes down with the other, and when
she had got them below the surface we were
both taken OF our feet and went slipping and
floating down. We went three rods before
gained a footing. The girl must have been
very fond of me for never got such hug
ging in my life as she gave me. had my
trout basket, with the strap hung over my
shoulder. I kept swinging it around, and it
looked ut one time very much as though we
three would go into the deep hole
swell, I finally got a firm foothold, and
then had painful duty to perform, and
that was to stop that girl hugging me and
get her quoted down so that she knew what
she was about. told her that she must take
hold of her garments and with both hands
raise them to the top of the water, or we
never could get back to the bridge against the
current. placed her in front of me and put
my arms around her. and we went lockstep
back to the bridge. tell you it was severe
wrestle with the boulders, current and basket
of fish, but we reached there at last, and then
continued the same step to the edge of the
bridge at which she came on, when mod
estly turned my back and stayed In the water
while she climbed out, arranged her skirts
and ran off."-Turf, Field and Farm.

Two weeks ago Johnny Murphy, lad Of

him could he found. Uncle Joe Roseman

The Condition Of ireland,
Arthur j. 8aIf0ur,
NEPHEW OF THE BRITISH PREMIER, AM
IRISH CHIEF SECRETARY.


Perhaps the most unthankful Of all
the offices in the gift of the British
Government is that of Chief Secretary
for Ireland. The unfortunate man
who holds it is apt to be "hunted" by
members of the Irish party in the
House of Commons, and ten to one is
the subject of hatred and execration
by the disaffected section of the Irish
people. This is especially true when
the Conservative party is in Office, as
at the present time, and the young
man of whom we present an excellent
likeness, in accepting the Office Of
Chief Secretary for Ireland, whatever
else may be said OF him, deserves the
credit OF being courageous. Since his
accession to the Office be has exhibited
remarkable firmness and dignity, and
his political foes are said to respect. his
ability and character. 1t fell to his
lot to introduce the Irish Criminal
Law Amendment Bill, one of the
strongest coercive measures ever pro-
posed in Parliament, and which
is now the subject Of heated dis
cussion.
The Chief Secretary is the son Of
Mr.. James Balfour, of Whittinghame,
Haddingtonshire, Scotland, and is
nephew of the Marquis of Salisbury,
Prime Minister of England. In 1873
and 1880 he acted as Private Secretary
to his distinguished uncle, at the
Foreign Office. From June, 1885, to
January, 1886, he was President of the
Local Government Board. His in
cumbency of the Secretaryship for
Scotland, to which he was appointed
in July, 1886, may be regarded as an
apprenticeship to his present office,
which he has held only few weeks.
Mr.. Balfour's Parliamentary experience
dates from 1874. He now represents
the Eastern Division of Manchester.
The Chief Secretary for Ireland was
born in 1e4S. He was educated at the
great public school of Elton, and
Trinity College, Cambridge. AS Prcsi-
dent of the Royal Commission upon
Gold and Silver Currency last year,
Mr.. Balfour showed great information
and acuteness.

War on the Ground Hog.

A Pennsylvania farmer near Phpnixville
is waging successful war on the ground
hog, which, es every farmer knows, does
much damage to meadows. His method is
to fill large beer or porter bottle with pow
der, letting fuse run through the cork. He
then places the bottle in the ground hogs
hole, with the fuse projecting outside, taking
care to pack the earth tightly at the mouth
of tho hole and close up firmly all other holes
leading to the home of the doomed animal.
Then the fuse is fired, and the result is that
all the ground hogs in the hole are killed by
the conclusion.
